"Well, I understand what you're saying, but do you think your daily practice is useful?"
Ma Zhao felt a little uneasy when he heard this. He turned around and looked around, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"The commander of the third regiment is Zhang Jin." Lin Hai shouted loudly.
"Here!" Zhang Jin emerged from the darkness again.
"No matter what Soldier Ma Zhao said today, you cannot punish him for it. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Zhang Jin said loudly.
"You can speak now." Lin Hai smiled at Ma Zhao.
"Yes, alright, County Magistrate. Today, several crossbowmen and I have discovered that relying solely on heavily armored infantry to charge the formation is not enough. It was fine at first, but after they charged twice, by the third time, it was clear that everyone was tired and had no strength, so their movements slowed down a lot."
"But we still provided cover at the original rate of fire, covering the enemy's position too early. If the enemy was more alert, they could easily run back from out of range and block them by the time the heavy infantry rushed over."
Ma Zhao finished speaking fluently. It seemed that he had said this many times. The crossbowmen nearby who should have come with him were also nodding.
"Well, you have a point. So what do you think we should do?" Lin Hai continued. This conversational method was something he had learned at work. Through constant encouragement and questioning, it would open your mind and get you to say things you wouldn't normally think of.
"I think the heavy infantry can only charge once in a short period of time. After all, if they charge, they will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat, which will definitely be more intense than today. Furthermore, the sword and shield soldiers should follow the heavy infantry's charge. This will not only expand the battlefield, but also cover the slow-moving heavy infantry's retreat if things get tough."
"Yeah, not bad. Anything else?"
"No...nothing more. That's all we can think of. Our captain must have thought of this as well." Ma Zhao did not forget to make up for it.
"It's okay, sit down." Lin Hai said, "Whether your regimental commander has thought of this or not, I am very pleased. Ma Zhao, you and your comrades are no longer ordinary soldiers. Your ideas are changing our war."
"You are right, your idea is right, we are training..."
...
"We stopped to go further. You've also discovered that the drill manuals we devised differ somewhat from real warfare. These shortcomings are fatal..."
"In today's world, if we don't do something, no one will do it... So we must protect ourselves and win the greatest victory at the lowest cost..."
"Xiangyun won't be our final destination, but it will be our most important stop... Our journey begins here, and the impoverished people of the world eagerly await our salvation..."
"From now on, military clerks must record all feedback from soldiers, and officers at all levels must participate in soldiers' discussions. We must firmly believe in the power of the collective. The wisdom of many will surely surpass that of a small group..."
"Yes, I know you're going to ask. Xiangyun is certainly not the end point. Otherwise, as Ma Zhao said, sending a regiment would be enough..."
In the dark night, Lin Hai said a lot and everyone listened a lot. In the coalition camp opposite, there were also many people who couldn't sleep.
